3/1/14: Flight Test Review Solo

Happy New Year!  :-)

To kick off the year, today I'm flying another area solo to further consolidate flight manoeuvres and emergency procedures in preparation for my Pilot Certificate Flight Test.

Today I performed:

1. Short-field takeoff
2. Slow cruise - 2400RPM 70KIAS
3. Steep turns at 2500ft - 2 x left turns and 2 x right turns
4. 2 x power-off stalls
5. Forced landing simulation
6. Fly back to YBAF requesting circuits on arrival
7. Circuit 1 – normal touch-and-go
8. Circuit 2 - normal touch-and-go
9. Circuit 3 – missed glide approach so called a go-around.  With less weight in the aircraft, I extended flaps late so was coming in too high
10. Circuit 4 – glide approach full stop landing

No time unfortunately for a precautionary search & landing exercise.

I have my BAK exam booked in for Friday 10th and all going well, have my Flight Test booked in for Saturday 11th morning.  Fingers crossed!  :-)

Until next time, have fun and fly safe!
